3Dconnexion 3D Mice Now Supported by Punch! Software Professional Home Design Suite Platinum V12

3D Mice Bring Natural and Intuitive Control to Amateurs and Professionals Designing and Remodeling Homes, Interiors and Landscapes


Fremont, Calif. - March 26, 2008 3Dconnexion, a Logitech company, today announced that its award-winning line of 3D mice is now supported by Punch! Software Professional Home Design Suite Platinum™ Version 12, an easy-to-use 2D and 3D home and landscape design package. Whether importing home and landscape photos to create a realistic design or using the aerial view to fly through designs with a true-to-life 3D perspective, 3Dconnexion's line of 3D mice offers more control when designing, remodeling and viewing home interiors, exteriors and landscaping.

Unlike mice confined to motion on two flat planes, 3Dconnexion's 3D mice allow for effortless movement and control within the 3D workspace. By pulling, pushing and tilting the 3D mouse cap, homeownersÊcan simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate without stopping to select commands.ÊA subtle increase or decrease in pressure accelerates or slows motion, enabling precise micro-adjustments.

"Punch! Software's Professional Home Design Suite Platinum is an extremely helpful tool for creating home and landscaping designs, providing amateurs and professionals alike with a unique 3D-rich experience," said Ziva Nissan, 3Dconnexion's director of product marketing. "3Dconnexion's 3D mice perfectly complement the software's powerful 3D graphics engine, enabling people to more naturally interact, navigate and connect with their home and landscaping designs."

3Dconnexion provides advanced and affordable 3D mice that are supported by more than 120 of today's most popular 3D applications, including Adobe® Photoshop® CS3 Extended and Acrobat® 3D, Autodesk® Inventor™, AutoCAD®, 3ds Max®, and Maya®, Blender, CATIA, Google Earth™ and SketchUp®, Microsoft® Virtual Earth™, NX™, Pro/ENGINEER®, SolidWorks®, and many other CAD, DCC, AEC, and GIS applications.
